    1. How do you customize Tildes?

      Other than using the Atom One Dark theme instead of default theme, I also:

      • View at 80% zoom (in desktop)
      • Use the Tildes Formatting Toolbar userscript (not sure who wrote this or where the install link is but I'm sure someone in the comments can say)

      And that's it for me! Which is relatively speaking almost no personal customization for me. (I also have a universal stylus sheet that removes ligatures on the entire internet but I don't think that does anything here)

      What does everyone else do? What do you recommend?

      Hi, lately I've been thinking a bunch about Phantom Crash, which I played on an XBox. It was a mecha battle arena game. It had two main modes (three if you count skipping through interminable conversations with NPCs). First, you'd take your mech into an arena and blow people up. Then you'd go to your garage, spending your winnings on upgrading your mech.

      The degree of customization you could achieve was striking. There were big options like wheels / legs / hover platform, and a variety of energy / mass / missile weapons. You could get different aim assist chips that had meaningfully different characteristics. You could tune almost any piece of equipment to be lighter or heavier, and a heavier gun really felt more powerful in the arena.

      TBH the actual combat was only alright, but we loved the game anyway.

      Are there any other games out there that have this kind of feedback loop? Playable today is best, but I'd also go down an internet archaeology hole.

    3. What are some startup scripts you have on your daily driver?

      In the everlasting quest to customize my laptop and make my life easier, I'm looking for any ideas for startup scripts to run on user login. Personally, I don't know how to write bash scripts yet...

      In the everlasting quest to customize my laptop and make my life easier, I'm looking for any ideas for startup scripts to run on user login.
      Personally, I don't know how to write bash scripts yet and unfortunately I won't have time to pick it up on the side in the near future seeing as how I'm swamped between my studies and work—nevertheless, it's always nice to see how others might have under the hood for future tinkering :)
      I'm currently running i3-gaps on Arch Linux. I have a few programs that I like to run inside i3's config file (Polybar, firefox, file manager, Thunderbird) every time I start i3.
      The problem that I seem to have is that I lack imagination. I don't know the potential of what else I could be doing with startup scripts, so I'm turning to Tildes to see what you guys might have.
